MEC Sello Lehari Applauds Mahikeng Police who impounded an overloaded Malawi bound Truck MEC Sello Lehari Applauds Mahikeng Police who followed, stopped and impounded an overloaded Malawi bound truck in Signal Hill, Mahikeng on Sunday night. The vehicle was taken to the North West SAPS TTA offices where the police are still verifying the goods loaded in the truck. "The process of pounding is necessary as it allows the police to satisfy themselves of any suspicions. Let us thank the police for this brave and swift action. We just cross our fingers, however, and wish that the nabbed truck contains genuine and legitimate stock but if not, the full might of the law will be exercised". Said the worried MEC. It has since emerged though, that the three Malawian who manned the truck were documented, the goods were legitimate and legally obtained. Although they were instructed to reduce the load on the truck before leaving the country as it violated the weight and height of load as legislated. The driver maintained that they usually collect goods from Malawians who work in the South Africa and deliver them to respective families in Malawi. North West MEC for the Department of Community Safety and Transport Management, Sello Lehari applauds the flying squad team for ensuring compliance on the roads and nevertheless repeated that; “Overloaded vehicles damage our road infrastructure which we are spending millions of rand on for maintenance.” Concluded MEC Sello Lehari.
